New York's shifting ethnic mosaic
Abstract cultures on canvas, New York, Bronx, July 2017
New York has continues to be a great crucibles of peoples within a larger community.
It remains very much a mosaic; a montage of neighborhoods in which certain groups predominate.
I worked on the representation of traditional ethnic enclaves, sprawled amoeba-like into adjacent communities.
These various colors and flavors of people continue to emerge and combine into various geometric potentials.
